Class II FDA medical device recall by Abbott Ireland Diagnostics Division, initiated 2014-09-11, terminated 2016-12-23. It names one FDA 510(k) clearance: K983439. Product: ARCHITECT Total T3 Reagent Kit (7K64) consists of: - 1 or 4 Bottle(s) (6.6 mL/27.0 mL) anti-T3 (sheep) coated microparticles in MES buffer with sheep IgG stabilizers. Minimum Concentration: 0.08% solids. Preservative: ProClin 300. - 1 or 4 Bottle(s) (5.9 mL/26.3 mL) T3 acridinium-labeled conjugate in citrate buffer with NaCl and Triton X-100 stabilizers. Minimum concentration: 0.33 ng/mL. Preservative: ProClin 300. The ARCHITECT Total T3 (TT3) assay is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) for the quantitative determination of total triiodothyronine (Total T33) in human serum and plasma.. Reason: 17% of ARCHITECT Total T3 Reagent Kit, LN 7K64-20/-25 reagent lots 38901UI00 and 38901UI01 may exhibit lower Relative Light Units (RLUs) than expected, which in turn may result in controls out of range or patient results higher than expected..
